The project was managed by the Italo-Latino-American Institute and the Trade Union Institute for Development Cooperation, with public and private stakeholders from the Huaura Province in Peru; the South and Central Department of Huila in Colombia; the Province of El Oro in Ecuador, and the Valle Alto of Cochabamba in Bolivia.  The goal was to promote tourism as an opportunity to diversify income in rural communities in the Andean region, with an emphasis on women and youth. The overall strategy sought to enhance tourism and the supply of unique local agricultural, agro-industrial, artisanal, and gourmet products.
